Chapter 109: The Domain Unfolds! (Part 3)

Wherever the thorns spread was the Domain of the Nun of Atonement.

Those magical thorns had already corroded half of Lion King Andy’s Flame Lion King Domain, occupying half of the rooftop.

The scene instantly formed a tense standoff — Domain against Domain.

“Impressive.”

Bemore, also protected by the Thorn Domain, watched this miraculous scene with her jaw dropped.

So even after awakening her Domain, she still couldn’t surpass Samimi?

Because Samimi’s Domain was far more complete than her own!

Everyone knew that their Purgatory Prison was only a half-finished product, still far from perfect.

Yet considering her age, Bemore was already a prodigy among prodigies.

Still, Samimi was ahead of her? What was it that made her run so fast?

Bemore gazed at Samimi’s heroic figure, her heart a tangled mess of jealousy, admiration, regret, understanding, hatred, and joy.

But in the end, she could only remain silent and not disturb.

“Lord Mimi? What is this?” Rebecca was different—she spun around happily, her face beaming with joy.

“Self-enlightenment. Return the magic to me.” Samimi was too lazy to explain and tossed out a casual remark.

“Boop.” Rebecca stuck to Samimi like a sticky slug, converting her excess healing into magic and pouring it into Samimi’s body.

Through this process, the Priestess genuinely grasped a tiny detail.

That was the connection between Lord Mimi and this Twin Goddess Statue.

Samimi needed her own magic to maintain the activation of the Twin Goddess Statue.

And the Twin Goddess Statue could amplify her magic tenfold, which was why it could create this thorny Domain like a dense forest.

Simply put, this Twin Goddess Statue was a 【Magic Power Amplification Tower】.

In plain terms, wasn’t this just a magic staff? Only the amplification effect was several times stronger than a magic staff, limited to amplifying thorn magic power, and it couldn’t move.

But precisely because it couldn’t move, it qualified as a Domain.

If it could move on its own, then they would be an invincible nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

“Niubao, I’m counting on you.” Samimi whispered.

Niubao’s head was once again adorned with the thorny crown, gaining the combined amplification spells of both Knight and Hero.

Her attribute bar was immediately filled to the brim.

However, the Twin Goddess Statue couldn’t strengthen her auxiliary spells, so theoretically Niubao hadn’t increased much in power.

Still, even with just this effect, the Twin Goddess Statue wasn’t worthy of being called a Magic Domain.

If it only amplified magic power, that would be too ordinary.

One could find a legendary magic staff to achieve the same effect.

Besides enhancing magic power, this Domain had a special effect: it unlocked Samimi’s 【Control Rights】 over the thorn magic.

Before, those thorns were just special effects.

The thorns would entwine shields, cover castle walls, or wrap around sword blades, but Samimi couldn’t do anything to them.

Now, through her connection with the Twin Goddess Statue, she obtained the right to manipulate these concretized magical thorns.

That was the true special ability of the Domain.

“Bind.”

At the very moment she gained control over the thorns, Samimi manipulated them to coil around her teammates’ bodies.

“Huh? Lord Mimi, what are you doing?” Cardolian panicked, immediately thinking of the evil cases she’d read in sacred scriptures.

Legend had it that some evil forces liked to torture female holy clerics by binding and questioning them, forcing them to fall into darkness. Terrifying.

Lord Mimi, you wouldn’t have fallen as well, would you!?

But she was overthinking. Samimi wasn’t that kind of person. Probably.

The thorns wove themselves into sets of exoskeleton armor, attaching and entwining behind everyone.

That’s right—the kind of exoskeleton armor usually only seen in sci-fi works.

Now that they had entered a fantasy world, it was just replacing steel and liquid oxygen devices with thorns and magic power.

After all, the White-haired Witch Bemore could simulate guns and armor-piercing bullets with her Magic Short Staff; it was only natural for Samimi to create some semblance of modern technology.

The thorn exoskeleton enhanced everyone’s limb strength and assisted their movements, comprehensively improving speed and agility.

Especially for someone like Rebecca, who was a weakling in battle.

Her stamina might not be worse than others, but she had almost no close-combat experience and moved like a slow turtle.

With the thorn exoskeleton, the movements she didn’t want to make or couldn’t execute, her thorns could help her run, and she could get up with their assistance.

Even Samimi herself was the same.

Some agile moves her body couldn’t perform, her mind could forcibly realize.

As long as she could think of a position, the thorn exoskeleton could pull and stretch her into any shape.

Pull! It was a hard pull!

What side effects might appear later, only time would tell. Surviving was the most important thing.

For Niubao, the thorn exoskeleton was definitely a positive amplification.

Her body could certainly adapt to the high-intensity movements assisted by the thorn exoskeleton, so it was no burden for her.

“This spell shall be called 【Thorn King Inscription】.” Samimi even had the mood to name her new technique.

Just as she prepared to move, countless flaming feathers sliced through the leading rows of thorns, burning fiercely.

But this time, her magic defense wouldn’t be broken with a single strike like before.

The flaming feathers shattered her thorns, and she condensed more thorns to fill the gaps.

The battle entered a tense war of attrition.

This was the original form of a wizard’s duel: shield spells clashing.

No, this was Domain against Domain—an even higher level of magical confrontation.

“Niuniu, attack!” Samimi gripped her Runic Staff tightly and shouted.

At her command, Niubao wielded dual weapons and crouched low, then charged through the thorn thicket with lightning speed, like a phantom.

But the most terrifying thing was the millions of thorns extending madly behind Niubao, like foot soldiers charging alongside their leader, attacking the enemy’s formation together.

It was at this leap that the battle between Domains truly began!

The expanding thorn thickets began entwining the flame battlefield that resembled a mirage city.

This meant Samimi’s 【Domain – Twin Goddess】 had started invading Lion King Andy’s 【Domain – Struggle for Supremacy】.

Domain versus Domain meant mutual expansion and mutual engulfing, until one side was completely covered.

Only then was there victory.

In this Domain confrontation, Lion King Andy had lost.

His Domain couldn’t stop the spread of the thorns.

Now, he couldn’t utter a single grand principle because he fully realized how overwhelmingly ruthless and domineering the corrosive effect of the deep crimson magic carried by the Nun of Atonement was.

“Compound Thorn… could this be 【Wood】?”

At the same time, Lion King Andy sensed something amiss.

The magic this nun wielded had an unusual flavor—it was the essence of Elemental Magic.
